"Distinction of God's voice": the second service of pastor Gwen Mouliert for women during the conference "Breakthrough Time"
On April 16 the second service for women with participation of the remarkable speaker Gwen Mouliert was held in the framework of the conference "Breakthrough Time". Gwen Mouliert has been serving as a pastor together with her husband for more than 30 years. She is also the founder and the president of the organization "Proclaiming His Word".
In the beginning of the service sisters had a wonderful possibility to worship and praise the Lord together with the female worship team of the Victory Church. The ballet "Narnia" presented a rousing Ukrainian dance "Good News". "Jesus, You are God of Ukraine!" all present in the hall exclaimed being inspired by what they have seen.
Sisters Tatyana and Irina, the soloists of the duet "Twice Born", shared with remarkable evidence on how God had changed their lives. Tatyana was on drugs for seven years and smoked. By the age of 20 she had become a full-fledged addict with undermined health and without any hope and purpose in her life. However, God did not leave her in such a condition. He touched her heart and gave her a thirst to live and serve Him. Irina was also on drugs, and this was the reason why she had been put into prison at the age of 20. There she got acquainted with Jesus and received spiritual freedom. After the sisters finished singing the song "Come off the Earth", Lyudmila Tkacheva, the pastor of the Victory Church in Kerch, shared a word about a tithe.
Gwen Mouliert formulated a topic of her sermon as "Distinction of the Voice of God". She underlined that sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, ability to hear the voice of God and to distinguish Him from other, false, voices is very important for us. Such an ability can relieve us from many heart pains and, in some cases, can even save our life.
Speaking about the childhood and youth of prophet Samuel, pastor Gwen paid attention of the listeners to three things which he received from his parents, namely, he was prayed over, he was devoted to the Lord, and he was brought up in the Holy Spirit. In the same way we should take care of our children. These three things helped Samuel to become a worshiper of God since the very childhood. When he became a teenager, he passed from worship to the service to God and "was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men". However, despite of that, Samuel could not recognize the voice of God when God addressed to him. The reason was that "the word of the Lord has not yet revealed unto him". "To know and distinguish the voice of God, we should read the Word of God and thirst for it. Also, we can hear the voice of God through the internal witness in our spirit," Gwen Mouliert continued.
Jesus Christ advises us to be wise as snakes. There are three characteristics by which snakes are distinguished from other animals. Firstly, snakes never close their eyes, so we should constantly keep awake and pray. Secondly, snakes do not have external auricles, so that they are guided by air fluctuation, as though "listening to a wind". In the Bible the Spirit of God is compared to a wind, and we should listen to the "wind of the Holy Spirit" in order to know what to do. Thirdly, snakes feel the enemy by perceiving its vibrations. So, we should also be trained constantly in distinguishing good from evil.
Inviting the audience for a prayer, pastor Gwen told: "I do not want to see here the people who serve God but have not got to know Jesus Christ yet as the personal Savior." In the end of the service Gwen Mouliert prayed for everybody to have the gift of distinction of spirits. She also prayed for those who had not been baptized by the Holy Spirit to be baptized. After the service sister Gwen and her team personally served with a prayer and word to all comers.
